“My approach to architecture is grounded in the thoughtful integration of home and landscape. I engage each project as a process of discovery, beginning with an articulated vision, where design ideas are revealed through layers of careful and attentive exploration. Honoring principles of material and craft, space and light, mass and void, my work seeks to define home as a place of sanctuary, striving for a sense of timelessness, warmth, and meaningful connection to nature.”

Raised in Wisconsin and currently based in Santa Cruz, his journey includes significant stops in Western Australia, the east coast of Taiwan, and throughout the United States in New Mexico, Arizona, Oregon, and Southern California. Slow, inquisitive travel, both internationally and domestically, has been transformative in establishing deeper insight into nature, culture, and context as it relates to design and construction.
